MN Health Department officials are asking the Amish community to get immunized as a possible case of polio was reported in that community. Authorities fear that this could be aggravated by the avian flu that if jumps from birds to humans could have catastrophic consequences. The federal department of Health and Human Services is attempting to come up with a plan to deal with this potential epidemic which is currently in Asia and Eastern Europe. The president has asked drug makers to increase production on the vaccines for possible a outbreak. The drugmakers have been concerned about liability concerning the sideffects. They want immunity from legal liability from the side effects from the government.
